MORNING COMES

morning comes
it comes for me
and gently I am nudged
for morning hour wishes
me for company
and my spirit yields
to the morning hour
that lets all others sleep
and drains my form
as I lament and weep 

over and over the words
it plays and dances in my mind
and keeps my body in restless state
and this the hour I often dread
the lonliness of ones mind I hate

But I this time turn thoughts to God
and try to sort through the maze
of all the troubled thoughts
that morning brought my way
and desire the bed where sleep I ought

no tiny white aids I to sleep
for they have had their chance
and now my mind it will pace
lonely up dark halls back and forth
as my mind it continues race

and morning becomes a little brighter
with each and every passing hour
but no rest is in sight
for this body that now is weary
so I will focus on God's true light

and know that this time, it will pass
and that I am not alone
and look only upwards from my bed
towards the truth ignoring
the stirrings found in my head

A Letter from Kabwata: Christians Eating Grass?

A Letter from Kabwata: Christians Eating Grass?

Just as Abraham purchased the land with his own shekels...

18-1 Did you notice how Abraham, when they tried to give him the land, he bought it with so many shekels of silver before the people as a ensign, as a witness: "Let it be known this day that I've bought this burying place." See? Purchase it. And Satan tried to--to give Him the kingdom which belongs to him now. He tried to give it to Him as a gift, but He wouldn't receive it 'cause it's... See, then Satan could still have claim on it. But, it had to be bought. Amen. He was the Word in the fullness thereof. They couldn't deceive Him in it.

18-2 Then it is now to get a baptism of Fire. See, it has now... What happened? Christ came and called the Church to repentance, baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission, sanctified the Church, and with the Fire of God come down and burn out all the filth and come and dwells in the human heart.

18-3 Now, the world, to be redeemed for this redeemed person, He uses His same method. He baptized it in water after the antediluvian destruction, shed His Blood upon it to sanctify it and claim it. It's His.
Satan tried to say, "I'll give it to you."
He said, "No, sir, I'll buy it." Let it be a witness. He was lifted up for an ensign--that He bought it; He purchased it. But now it has to go through a baptism of fire, holy fire from God which cleanses the earth and the heavens around it. Then it's purchased so that the redeemed can live on it--live in it in peace.

I know God is good, but sometimes I hurt, and sometimes I cry ...

I look the part,
blend in with the rest of the church crowd.
I know the routine,
I could list all the Bible studies in town.
Watch Christian TV,
I know all the preachers, their cliches.
Been born again, without a doubt I know I'm saved.

But sometimes I hurt, and sometimes I cry.
Sometimes I can't get it right
no matter how hard I seem to try.
Sometimes I fall down, stumble over my own disguise.
I try to look strong as the whole world looks on,
but sometimes alone I cry.

I try to speak faith, never give the devil one inch to get in.
I do worship and praise,
let everybody know just where that I stand.
On the back of my ride is a fish
and a cross for the world to see.
I know God is good all of the time,
Yes, there's no doubt for me.

But sometimes I hurt, and sometimes I cry.
Sometimes I can't get it right
no matter how hard I seem to try.
Sometimes I fall down, stumble over my own disguise.
I try to look strong as the whole world looks on,
but sometimes alone I cry.

Sometimes I fall down, stumble over my own disguise.
I try to look strong as the whole world looks on,
but sometimes alone I cry.

I try to look strong as the whole world looks on,
but sometimes alone I cry.
